A formidable countess of the 16th century spends her days locked in her remote castle with her loyal servants, at the northern edge of Hungary, on the imaginary border between East and West.
It could be a typical gothic story, except the countess has a peculiarity: the only thing that truly pleases her is to sadistically orchestrate the abuse, torture, and killing of young girls...
Argentine poet Alejandra Pizarnik charmingly adapts the infamous myth of the blood-soaked Countess Bathory, and the -red, white, and black- illustrations by artist Santiago Caruso revisit the vertigo, doomed pleasure, and horror of her true story.
